The MDSplus user community has also developed some MDSplus extensions which may be generally useful to other MDSplus users. As the number of these extensions grow we hope to provide a mechanism for users to advertise their packages and provide instructions for downloading, installing and using them. For now we will add url links on the "Shared Apps" page. If you have an application, utility, language interface or any other useful tool that you would like to share with the MDSplus user community and can provide a url to your tool please send an email to [webmaster@mdsplus.org| webmaster@mdsplus.org].
MDSplus packages are available for a number of computing platforms. Additional platforms can usually be supported by downloading the MDSplus sources and building directly on the computer where you want to run MDSplus.

Installing Binary Kits

Binary kits are provided for a variety of linux distributions, windows, and macintosh. Directions and download links are provided on the Software Downloads page.
For the linux platform we have included OpenMotif kits which the MDSplus Motif applications are linked against. You may need to use the --force option of rpm to install the OpenMotif kit if you already have another OpenMotif kit installed.
